cloth diapers




I try to be as green as I can, so when I found out that I was pregnant with Madison I wanted to do cloth diapers. JR was against it, but after much research we found a brand of diaper that we really like called bumgenius. We wash diapers every two days and then I put the insert in the diaper and the biodegradable liner that makes poop clean up easy. I am really glad that we chose cloth diapers besides Madison looks so cute in them. A few facts....




A baby produces 1 ton of diaper waste in their diaper wearing life ( avg. 2 yrs)


1 disposable diaper can take up to 500 years to decompose


disposable diapers are the third most common consumer item in a landfill


disposable diapers cost $1,500 to $2,000 for the two years your child wears them
